Just so that @trussliz and @RishiSunak understand correctly. The UK wine trade works on a global basis & has a much better understanding of trading across borders than any government ministers like @Helen_Whately will ever have.
Just ask @VictoriaPrentis what happen when her department didn’t think it through with the Vi1 saga. She was made to u-turn. Now we have the same situation with the Excise Reform Proposal. This is a badly thought through piece of proposed law that should of never been published
Now @trussliz has been caught out in Australia because wine importers across the UK have been explaining the implications to there producers. Surprise surprise the producers have gone directly to the Australian government to voice just how pissed off they are at being conned.
Now as already said importers like me work on a global basis and we talk daily to our suppliers around the world. We actually have a pretty powerful position within global drink business and the likes of @Helen_Whately and @RishiSunak really should not piss the wine industry off.
So if they don’t back down with their poor, unworkable & frankly pathetic excuse for excise reform then they will see it get very difficult to get trade deals with nations like NZ, USA, etc. On the other hand maybe they can listen to experts rather than Tufton St Gammon shagger.
What so sad about all of this is that these people should be working to make business better & improve the interests of everyone in the UK. They are doing neither and lie or gaslight to justify themselves and there over inflated egos. Just look at @DominicRaab performance today!
